I was questioning skidpan's assertion that there are petrol engined Skoda Superb estates on autotrader for under £4k. There are none, the cheapest one available is £4995. The cheapest 3.6 is £7999. So why he's saying there are 4 under £2k is a mystery to me.

I like that skoda V6 but they need to drop in price - a lot. They're all well over £10k. Great motor tho

Just looked on Autotrader, found 4 under £2000.

You found 4 V6 Superb estates for under £2k?

Where did I say anything about estates?

Look at the title of the thread, the 'fast estate' part is a bit of a giveaway, which is what the OP is after. The price of the Skoda Superb was being discussed only as a V6 estate, so when you piped in that you'd seen 4 on Autotrader under £2k, why would anyone assume you were talking about anything other than a Superb V6 estate?.

I answered the post that said

"I like that skoda V6 but they need to drop in price - a lot. They're all well over £10k. Great motor tho"

No mention of estate there.

No mention of estate on a thread titled "want cheap fast estate"?.

The post you answered was from the OP, i think given he started the thread on cheap fast estates it would be fair for him to assume members answering would know what the thread was about and what he was looking for without having to mention the word estate clearly on every post. And indeed, his post, which you answered, was in itself replying to a post from RT which says, "try a Skoda Superb estate-not many around with the V6 though"

But hey ho, i would not expect you to admit were not paying attention to what the thread was about or what the OP is looking for.
